Бытие 33

Studie

   

1 И возвелъ Іаковъ очи свои, и видитъ, и вотъ идетъ Исавъ, и съ нимъ четыреста человјкъ. Тогда онъ раздјлилъ дјтей - Ліи, Рахили и двумъ служанкамъ;

2 и поставилъ служанокъ и дјтей ихъ впереди, Лію и дјтей ея за нпми, а Рахиль и Іосифа позади.

3 А самъ пошелъ передъ ними, и поклонился до земли семь разъ, подходя къ брату своему.

4 Исавъ побјжалъ ему на встрјчу, обнялъ его, бросился ему на шею, и цјловалъ его, и плакали.

5 И возведши очи свои, увидјдъ женъ и дјтей, и спросидъ: кто это у тебя? Іаковъ отвјчалъ: дјти, которыхъ Богъ даровалъ рабу твоему.

6 И подошли служанки, сами и дјти ихъ, и поклонились.

7 Потомъ подошла Лія, и дјти ея, и поклонились. Наконецъ подошли Іосифъ и Рахиль и поклонились.

8 Еще спросилъ: что значитъ у тебя все это ополченіе, съ которымъ я встрјтился? онъ отвјчалъ: дабы обрјсти благодать въ очахъ господина моего.

9 Исавъ сказалъ: у меня много, братецъ; пусть твое - у тебя.

10 Но Іаковъ сказалъ: нјтъ, сдјлай милость; если я обрјлъ благоволеніе въ очахъ твоихъ, прими даръ мой отъ руки моей; ибо я увидјлъ лице твое, какъ бы кто увидјлъ лице Божіе, и ты принялъ меня милостиво.

11 Прими благословеніе мое, которое представлено тебј; потому что Богъ даровалъ мнј, и есть у меня все. И принудилъ его, и онъ взялъ.

12 Исавъ сказалъ: поднимемся в пойдемъ; и я пойду предъ тобою.

13 Онъ отвјчалъ ему: господинъ мой знаетъ, что дјти мои молоды, а мелкій и крупный скотъ дойный; если погнать его одинъ день, то помретъ весь скотъ.

14 Пусть господинъ мой пойдетъ впереди раба своего, а я пойду тихимъ шагомъ своимъ, какъ пойдетъ скотъ, который передо мною, и какъ пойдутъ дјти; и приду къ господину моему въ Сеиръ.

15 Исавъ сказалъ: такъ я оставлю съ тобою нјсколько изъ людей, которые при мнј. Онъ отвјчалъ: на что это? только бы мнј обрјсти благоволеніе въ очахъ господина моего!

16 И возвратился Исавъ въ тотъ же день путемъ своимъ въ Сеиръ.

17 А Іаковъ пошелъ въ Сюкоѕъ, и построилъ себј домъ, и для скота своего сдјлалъ дворы. Отъ сего дано имя мјсту: Сюкоѕъ.

18 Іаковъ, пришедши изъ Падан-Арама, въ мирј пришелъ въ городъ Сихемъ, который въ землј Ханаанской, и расположился противъ города.

19 И купилъ часть поля, на которомъ онъ раскинулъ шатеръ свой, у сыновъ Эммора, отца Сихемова, за сто монетъ.

20 И поставилъ тамъ жертвенникъ; и назвалъ его: Богъ крјпкій, Богъ Израилевъ.

4507. 'And whatever was in the city, and whatever was in the field they took' means every truth and good of the Church. This is clear from the meaning of 'the city' as doctrine, and so the truth of the Church, dealt with in 402, 2268, 2449, 2712, 2943, 3216, 4492, 4493, and from the meaning of 'the field' as the Church in regard to good, and so as the good of the Church, dealt with in 2971, 3310, 3766, 4440, 4443. Consequently 'whatever was in the city, and whatever was in the field' means every truth and good of the Church.

2712. 'He dwelt in the wilderness of Paran' means the life of the spiritual man as regards good. This is clear from the meaning of 'dwelling' as being used in reference to good residing in truth, which is spiritual good, that is, good present with the spiritual man. The essential nature of that good is described by his dwelling in the wilderness of Paran, dealt with immediately below. That 'dwelling' is used in reference to good residing in truth, or to the affection for truth, is clear from many places in the Word where it is said of cities, which mean truths, that they will be without any inhabitant, by whom good is meant, 2268, 2449, 2451; for truths are inhabited by good, and truths devoid of good are like a city that has no one dwelling in it, as in Zephaniah,

I have laid their streets waste, so that none passes through; their cities are desolate, so that there is no one dwelling in them. Zephaniah 3:6.

[2] In Jeremiah,

Jehovah was leading us through the wilderness. No man passed through in that [land], and no one dwelt there. They have turned his land into a solitary place, his cities have been burned, so that none is dwelling there. Jeremiah 2:6, 15.

In the same prophet,

Every city has been forsaken, with no one dwelling in them. Jeremiah 4:29.

In the same prophet,

In the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate there is no human being, no inhabitant, no beast. Jeremiah 33:10.

'Streets' stands for truths, 2336, 'no human being' for no celestial good, 'no inhabitant' for no spiritual good, 'no beast' for no natural good. In the same prophet,

The cities of Moab will become a desolation, with no one dwelling in them. Jeremiah 48:9.

[3] With each particular expression in the Prophets there exists the marriage of truth and good. Consequently when 'a city' is said to be desolate, the phrase 'no one dwelling in it' is also added, the reason being that 'a city' means truths and 'one dwelling in it' good. Otherwise it would be superfluous to say 'no one dwelling in it' when it has been stated that the city is desolate. In a similar way certain terms occur consistently to mean things that belong to celestial good, others that belong to spiritual good, and others also that belong to truths, as in Isaiah,

Your seed will possess the nations, and they will dwell in the desolate cities. Isaiah 54:3

Here 'possessing' has reference to celestial good, 'dwelling in' to spiritual good. In the same prophet,

My chosen ones will possess it, and My servants will dwell there. Isaiah 65:9.

Here the meaning is similar.

[4] In David,

God will save Zion and will build the cities of Judah; and they will dwell there and possess it, and the seed of His servants will inherit it, and those loving His name will dwell in it. Psalms 69:35-36.

'Dwelling there' and at the same time 'possessing' has reference to celestial good, 'dwelling in' to spiritual good. In Isaiah,

He who says to Jerusalem, You will be dwelt in; and to the cities of Judah, You will be built. Isaiah 44:26.

Here 'dwelling in' has reference to the good of the spiritual Church, which is Jerusalem. To such an extent do the terms used in the Word have reference to their own goods and their own truths that simply from a knowledge of that usage of terms one may recognize what the subject is in general that is being dealt with.
